WWF No Mercy is widely considered the pinnacle of wrestling games on the Nintendo 64, and for good reason. It boasts a massive roster of beloved Attitude Era wrestlers, deep customization options, and incredibly smooth gameplay mechanics based on its predecessors. The Championship mode delivers a compelling solo experience, while the sheer array of match types guarantees endless multiplayer chaos. WWF No Mercy is a legendary wrestling title that set a standard that hasn't been surpassed by many of its successors.
Can beat women good game
10/10
BEST OF ALL TIME! I legit still play this game and it is so smooth and crisp. The game play is fantastic and really requires some critical thinking.
I even have one of the copies that deletes your saves, but there are work arounds. Mine only deletes if I play the campaign mode too many times (5 or 6 play throughs). You can save created wrestlers on a memory pack, so if you unlock a rare character, you can copy them onto the memory pack. Or, if you play through the survival mode, you can unlock them all by eliminating upwards of a hundred opponents. Make a character with a low swiping kick and you have a good chance of winning.

Instant classic
If this game didn't constantly delete your save, it'd be the best wrestling game ever made. My advice: Play it on an emulator!
One of the best wrestling games ever made, very impressive for its time. The gameplay engine is top-notch and the branching career mode gives a lot of replay value. The graphics are not great though, and the limit on 4 wrestlers in the ring at a time does hamper some of the match types like Royal Rumble
I had heard for years that this was one of the pinnacles of Wrestling games, and now that I've finally played it? Ehhhhhhh.... It's fine to a point. It has that corny attitude era charm, I can't deny that, but it really does not feel fun to play. The AI is insanely brutal at times, and I swear I could not make the game do what I wanted it to do during my matches. It also doesn't help with the amount of Handicap matches they throw at you that winning just feels like an impossible task sometimes. There is fun to be had in No Mercy, but man, I couldn't find it.
It's typical, but yes WWF No Mercy is the gold standard of pro wrestling games. Endless hours of fun. Love the mods too for PC.
I give WWF No Mercy an 8!

I love this game because I KNOW Ceradust cannot beat this game.
Instant Classic. No Mercy is one of the greatest pro wrestling games of all time. From the branching story in career mode as well as the deep character customization with large scale moveset edits. This game was one of a kind for its time. I struggle to find a bad thing to say, and yes, this game still holds up today.
I couldn't recommend this title more. If you can find a way to play it, do it. You won't be disappointed.

To everyone having trouble beating this game: taunt shamelessly in any possible chance, it's the attitude era after all lol
Pros: Late 90s wrestling games were everywhere, and advertised a ton to kids in gaming magazines and such, so it was tough to avoid. And of all the wrestling video games, this one stood above the rest of the pack. WWF No Mercy was filled to the brim with customization and player choice, where you could set the rules any way you liked. Referee mode was a favorite, as was the character creation mode, pretty extensive for its day. But so much fun trying to pull off moves, jumpin out of the ring, grabbing weapons and blunt objects to whack the other wrestlers with. And of course, this is N64, you got four player support, and what a great time this was if you were a wrestling fan of that era.
Cons: And I'm not even a wrestling fan! So I guess I can't speak so much on the accuracy to the sport, but in terms of cons, the collision detection wasn't always the best, and I recall the feeling of "what the fuck am I doing" happening quite frequently, being stuck in a chokehold, or holding someone else in one, trying to figure out how to pull off a specific move while looking like a buffoon in the process. It's a bit jank, but hey, it's the 90s! Still a fun time.
What it means to me: Yeah, not a wrestling fan, so this is pretty special to make it to the list. Played this a ton with my brothers and step bros, it was just a good time, whether you were into wrestling or not. And it was just so darn silly! Making up rules, creating characters, it didn't take itself seriously at all, and it let us have fun!
